I decided to use Yahoo! Pipes and Twitter to make an early alert system. Weather.gov already offers a ton of XML & RSS feeds. I just needed to filter out the events and areas that didn’t apply, so that only local watches or warnings are reported.

Twitter users near Greenville, Spartanburg, or Anderson, SC should subscribe to it.

And in case you want to subscribe some other way (RSS, email, etc.), or make your own customized version, you can visit the actual Yahoo! Pipe.

It seems to work quite nicely; we’re apparently having a Freeze Watch tonight. Who knew?
